Pacey
Meaning of Pacey
In contemporary Anglo-American usage, Pacey functions as a unisex English given name of locational origin, derived from an Anglo-Norman surname referencing the village of Pacy-sur-Eure in Normandy, whose Late Latin etymon Pacciacum denotes “the estate of Paccius.” Pronounced PAY-see (/ˈpeɪsi/), it retains a precise, technical quality, evoking associations with measured tempo and equilibrium. Analysis of United States Social Security data indicates a persistently moderate incidence, with annual registrations oscillating between 9 and 52 newborns—corresponding to ranks roughly between 774 and 917—over the past quarter-century. Its gender-neutral application, combined with an understated semantic nexus of placidity and forward motion, renders Pacey an analytically appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet linguistically grounded appellation.
